Chapter 329 College Entrance Examination
Pengfei returned to Guizhou Province with the Wenchang amulet that his aunt had obtained for him. He carefully placed the amulet in his pocket, close to his body. He had almost finished reviewing the material. The dense notes and stacks of test papers he had done were all testaments to his hard work.
As long as I don't underperform, don't get diarrhea or other unexpected problems on the day of the exam, getting into university shouldn't be a problem.
There are less than seven days left until the college entrance examination.
Today, our class held its last class meeting. Rather than a class meeting, it was more like a special farewell party. After today, everyone will go home to prepare for the final sprint of exams.
In the classroom, the students' emotions were mixed, with excitement, nervousness, and reluctance all intertwined.
Everyone signed their names on the blackboard, along with a message they had been keeping hidden in their hearts.
Class monitor Lin Aimin stood outside the classroom window, looking at Zhuang Xiaoting and Lin Dongzhe who were still writing their names on the blackboard, and poked his head in.
"Class, once you've written your names, today's activity is over. Those of you leaving the classroom, please remember to close the doors and windows. Goodbye, everyone!"
The students responded enthusiastically, "Goodbye, class monitor."
"Xiaoting, we're leaving. Just lock the door."
The students left one after another, and soon only Zhuang Xiaoting and Lin Dongzhe remained in the class.
Zhuang Xiaoting carefully wrote her name on the blackboard. After pausing briefly, she wrote down a sentence from her heart: Go all out and embrace tomorrow.
Just then, as if by some strange twist of fate, the two wrote each other's names, and then, as if by telepathy, looked at each other at the same time.
Time seemed to stand still when their eyes fell on the blackboard where each other's names were written.
He felt a sudden jolt in his heart, and those images, long buried deep in his memory, played like a movie in his mind.
Lin Dongzhe's eyes instantly reddened, thinking of the days they spent together as children and the time they spent growing up together.
He had wondered countless times whether Xiaoting could sense his feelings for her that went beyond those of neighbors and friends. Now, looking at the name Xiaoting had written on the blackboard, he finally realized that Xiaoting's thoughts were exactly the same as his.
Tears welled up in his eyes instantly, but he couldn't let them fall. Lin Dongzhe looked at Zhuang Xiaoting, and the piece of chalk in his hand broke in two due to his nervousness and fell to the ground.
He looked into Xiaoting's eyes. "Xiaoting, I just want to go to the same university as you. I don't want to be separated from you..."
Xiaoting looked at him quietly, a smile playing on her lips. It was a radiant, beautiful smile that brightened Lin Dongzhe's entire world. "I'll wait for you, Lin Dongzhe."
Their conversation was simple, devoid of any insincere sweet talk, yet it sounded like the most precious vows.
At that moment, they both understood each other's feelings.
. . . . . . . . .
The day of the college entrance examination has finally arrived.
Before dawn, Huang Ling tiptoed into the kitchen and, just like Tu Nan did for the college entrance exam, steamed a pot of buns, wishing him good results.
After breakfast, Huang Ling watched as Xiao Ting rummaged through her bag again in the living room.
"Have you tried the medicated oil, Ren Dan (a traditional Chinese medicine), your admission ticket, ID card, and pen? Don't forget to bring your ruler, watch, and ink."
As Huang Ling muttered to herself, she tried to recall what she had said, but after finishing, she felt as if she had forgotten something.
Xiaoting flipped through the pages slowly and deliberately. "Mom, everything is ready."
Just then, Zhuang Chaoying suddenly seemed to remember something, exchanged a glance with Huang Ling, and said in unison.
"Wenchang Talisman!"
Xiaoting hung the Wenchang talisman on her desk, and Zhuang Tunan, who was sitting next to her, quickly stood up.
"Mom, I'll go get the Wenchang talisman." After saying that, she quickly ran upstairs to the room and took down the Wenchang talisman.
Zhuang Chaoying took the Wenchang talisman from Tu Nan, which had a red string attached to it.
He placed the Wenchang amulet around his daughter's neck. "Your mother and Aunt Song specially went to Hanshan Temple to get this amulet for you. It's very effective. Wear it."
Tu Nan, carrying two water bottles, strode to the door and pushed it open. "Mom and Dad, you two stay home. I'll take them to the exam venue and make sure they get there safely."
Huang Ling couldn't help but remind her again, "Xiao Ting, drink less water. Don't be like your dad, raising your hand to go to the toilet as soon as you enter the exam room."
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Chaoying realized that this was something she had specifically instructed A-Ling not to tell the children. "A-Ling."
Huang Ling waved her hand. "I'm just letting Xiaoting learn from this experience, so she can't make the same mistake again and affect her exam."
Tu Nan put on a helmet, pushed the motorcycle, and handed another helmet to Xiao Ting.
Lin Dongzhe's voice came from the alley entrance. "Brother Tu Nan, Xiao Ting, let's go!"
Xiaoting quickly ran to the front and opened the door, only to see Lin Dongzhe already waiting in the alley on his motorcycle, the morning sunlight outlining his tall and straight figure.
The two looked at each other and gave each other a big smile.
Tu Nan carried Xiao Ting on his back, while Dong Zhe rode his motorcycle. Fortunately, they were assigned to the same exam room, so they could look after each other.
Four adults stood at the alley entrance, their eyes following their figures.
As Huang Ling watched the children leave, she suddenly felt that she was finally about to be free. With Xiao Ting and Peng Fei finishing their college entrance exams, the burden on her shoulders would soon be lighter. A complex mix of emotions welled up inside her, including relief but mostly reluctance.
"Tu Nan, Dong Zhe, ride your bike slowly and be careful. Xiao Ting, Dong Zhe, keep it up!"
Song Ying quickly chimed in, "Lin Dongzhe, stay steady! Good luck, Xiaoting! After the exam, Auntie will take you out for afternoon tea and to the department store to buy you some nice clothes."
Lin Wufeng put his arm around Song Ying's shoulder. "Our Dongzhe has such a good mindset. This kid doesn't panic before the exam and doesn't mess up during the exam. Don't worry, Dongzhe will definitely do well."
Zhuang Chaoying put her arm around A-Ling's shoulder. "Xiao Song, you don't need to worry. Dong Zhe's attitude towards learning has been evident to all during these three years of high school. Just wait to be the mother of a college student."
Song Ying nodded, watching as Sister Ling and Teacher Zhuang walked back. Sure enough, having a child who is number one in academics means you don't have to worry about anything.
In this era, the college entrance examination is undoubtedly a crucial test that changes one's life trajectory.
If you pass the exam, even if you don't do well in the future, you'll likely have a stable job and a comfortable middle-class life; if you do well, the future will be full of endless possibilities.
Pengfei, far away in Guizhou Province, sat in the examination room. As the examination bell rang, he subconsciously touched the Wenchang amulet hanging around his neck, took a deep breath, picked up his pen, and began to answer the questions on the test paper quickly.
